Why work with Amy

01

I know Orinda from the inside.

I went through Orinda schools from kindergarten through Miramonte, and I came back to raise our three daughters here. When you ask me about a street, a school or a swim club, you're getting an answer from someone who lives it.

02

I bring a finance background to every negotiation.

Before real estate, I worked in private wealth management at Salomon Smith Barney and Goldman Sachs. Pricing, strategy and negotiation are where that training shows up for my clients.

03

I have access you won't find online.

As a partner at Village Associates, and through relationships built over generations in this town, my clients see on and off-market homes others miss.

What clients say

“Most realtors were not even slightly interested in helping us sell in Concord and buy in Orinda. Amy, however, didn't even hesitate. When our offer was accepted, we had only 25 days to sell to make the contingent work. With Amy's leadership, we got the price we wanted, sold in a week, and closed both deals a week ahead of this extremely aggressive schedule!”

The Derry FamilySold in Concord and bought in Orinda

“We purchased two homes with Amy and both were not listed and came through her network, a huge competitive advantage for us as buyers. She is extremely knowledgeable about all the different sub-communities and works to match buyers not only with the right home, but the right neighborhood. Amy made us feel like family.”
